Annual Children’s Cabinet fundraiser turns virtual

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - The Children’s Cabinet is hosting its 22nd annual Art of Childhood fundraiser, however it will be virtual this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Children’s Cabinet is the only non-profit organization in northern Nevada that consistently provides free family counseling services.

Young added, “We’re able to turn their generous donations into services and programs that support kids and families and help us keep children safe and families together.”
